Everyone loves to visit their parents, nostalgic memories comming in of childhood and eating their delicious meals... or that's what most people think, except Sunburst. Sire's Hollow despite being a nice place to be born and raised, Suburst is not very happy to come for weekend, he was at the Cristal Empire in his studio making a new spell that could change everything in a good way for civilians and wouldn't have to worry again about other problems; but stress was making him drown in despair, the spell was not working and any try he did for casting was a failure. One day Princess Cadance came to Sunburst's studio and after seeing him struggling she decided to force him into vacations with his mother. But ended up taking direct orders from Cadance who didn't gave him another choice. The train to Sire's Hollow arrived and at the station, there she was... Stellar Flair, waving her hoove with a smile trying to catch her son's attention.

"Sunburst, over here" She shouted at him.

"Hi... mom" Said Sunburst walking out of the train not very convinced of this. "How did you knew i was comming?" he asked a bit confused.

"Princess Cadance sended me a message that you were comming for weekend and as i knew, this i couldn't stop thinking of plans for your future" Sunburst eyes rolled from one side to other after hearing those last words, he's very done with her mother's plans "Come on, let's go home and we can talk a bit more."

They arrived at her house, the place smelled like strawberries; all thanks to Stellar who baked a few strawberry muffins before his arrival; but with a touch of burned as well, the bin had a few of those burnned muffins, things like these makes him remember that she's a good mother that cares about him and the reason why she makes all those plans for him. Since last time he was there, alongside Starlight; explained their issues with their parents but it seems some things can't change from night to day.

"How have you been Sunburst? Tell me" Stellar said with a helping voice.

"Not good" He took a deep breaths and showed the scroll where he was preparing his spell. "I was working on a new spell for the Cristal Empire, but it just doesn't work. Anytime i try to cast it it just... fails and i don't know what i'm doing wrong." After ending, he bitted one of the muffins tasting it's sweet flavour and took back the scroll.

"Well, it's good to see that you finally are planing. I'm very proud of you" Stellar had wide a smile while looking at her son. "But try to include me in your plans as well sometime soon"

They kept the chat for a few more hours, both had a nice and calm conversation; thing that they didn't had in a while. Sunburst helped his mother with the chores, as he is very talented with magic they end very quickly. Suddenly, Sunburst felt a flow of ideas running inside of his mind; as quick as possible he run to his old bedroom with the scroll and started writing on it. The spell was taking it's form slowly until it was finally done, Sunburst was happy to finally have found the final lines to it.

"It's done... it's finally done" Sunburst hopped in happyness finally seeing his work done. "Now, let's try it..."

Sunburst concentrated as much as possible and glowing his horn brighter he managed to cast the spell, it was going well but suddenly a blast made him faint on the ground, after a few minutes he woke up and saw that it didn't worked as intended; he will have to rewrite the last lines but he felt tired suddenly so after leaving the scroll at top of his desk Sunburst went to the bed and slept with no more worries for that day... or mabe not, the scroll is starting to turn into ashes slowly by the sudden burst of magic it recieved without him noticing all due to his sudden tireness.
